ICASS is a distinguished international conference series initiated in 1996 by Chair Professor SL Chan from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, organized every two years around the world. Previous conferences were held in Hong Kong (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 9th series), Shanghai (4th), Singapore (5th), Nanjing (7th), Lisbon (8th) and Chengdu (10th).
The 11th ICASS’2023 will be unique, as it will be the first to be held in Sarawak, and in Malaysia. This conference is intended to provide a forum for researchers and professionals to discuss and disseminate recent advances in analysis, behaviour, design and construction of steel, aluminium and composite steel-concrete structures.
